Why did'nt this film work? What, with all the stunning visuals and well played characters the story went nowhere.I treat of nowhere. First, sacrificing Carroll's surreal plateau for this idiotic slay the dragon quest dragged everyone underground. Quest-crap relies on this good/evil myth which left us in darkness, no joy uplifting.All the creatures lost their magic and absurdity in this medieval Manichean mess.The RedQueen and the Hatter were remarkable; what a shame thier universes had to kowtow to dragonquest. PS, the 3D was for the most part, Viewmaster quality.
